Leeds United loanee Mallik Wilks scored again last night for Doncaster Rovers to continue his eye catching start to the season.

Wilks netted for Doncaster in their 2-1 Carabao Cup victory over Scunthorpe.

He now has three goals in three consecutive matches to start the season.

The 19-year-old said he is thrilled to be getting the opportunities to show what he can do.

Wilks told Doncaster’s media team: “There is nothing better than a derby win, it was great to score again and I’m really enjoying myself.

“We’re counter attacking a lot and it suits how I play.

“I love starting games and I’m getting on well with all the fans, we’re winning together and long may that continue.”

The teenager is on loan until January, when Leeds will make another decision over his future.

Keeping up a record of a goal a game will be unlikely, but if he can continue to find the net regularly, he will be hard for Marcelo Bielsa to ignore.

Wilks’ progress has to delight Leeds, and while it is early days, he is doing everything asked of him right now and wowing a new set of fans.
